Onir’s upcoming film will hit screens on February 16.

Filmmaker Onir, known for movies like My Brother Nikhil and I Am, is excited that his first romantic feature film Kuchh Bheege Alfaaz will hit the screens on February 16, the Valentine’s Day weekend.

Backed by Saregama’s Yoodlee Films, the film is a modern-day love story in the age of social media, as seen through two primary characters -- RJ Alfaaz, played by debutant actor Zain Khan Durrani, and meme artist Archana, played by Geetanjali Thapa.

Onir said in a statement: “I am excited that my first romantic feature film will be released the week the world celebrates love. The film releases on February 16 and it celebrates the new age love as it emerges through the world of social media.

“The medium of communication is new but the essence -- that is the same exhilarating essence of a true romance.”
